Hey ya'll,
can anyone suggest some solid books on reading deer sign / habitat / behavior. Not really looking for the "how to hunt" kind, but rather a general understanding of the animals.
Thanks much

I've found Mule Deer Country by Valerius Geist quite good.
I also have Mule Deer Country by Valerius Geist ...Good read ..Also The Deer of North America by Leonard Lee Rue 111..ISBN o-517-53630-7.....Dennis
Not a book, but these brochures by the government actually have some good information in them.

Also Nature's Wild Spirits Whitetails by Mark Raycroft
I would not rely to much on any book. I've read more than a few on mule deer. I've found that muleys seem to eat and behave differently from area to area. I would use trail cams and observe the does eatING as much as possible. As silly as it sounds write a diary of everything you observe. There are no shortcuts.
